The game does very well when it comes to simulation of combat flying. Problem is it **** in just about everything else. Missions are always the same - kill planes, destroy ground targets. You don't need to take off or land, and there is no "story" of any kind. So the missions become boring quite quickly. There is one good moment when you need to rescue a pilot who ditched his plane. This is good. If only there would be more things like that. Enemy AI is also a problem. It happens all too often that enemies just aim at you and go after you no matter what. In that case, if you don't want to die, you must turn and run as fast as possible, circling the map while 20-25 planes are chasing you, and you can't stop or you die immediately. So you circle and repeatedly choose one of your chasers and command your wingmen to attack him. Although the enemy planes maintain level flight because they aren't doing anything but chasing you, your wingmen have big trouble shooting them down. It is completely ridiculous. Last but not least problem is obvious overpowering Russian planes, while at the same time making any Western allies' planes barely usable. Really stupid move. Other than that, the game is decent.
